i visited Greece multiple times in the 1980s--never once had a salad that included lettuce of any sort--they were always as you describe. As I recall, the dressing was pretty simple with olive oil, a bit of oregano, and either lemon juice or vinegar--certainly no honey

She mentioned she adds the romaine as a filler to make it more substantial and I do the same

This has been my go to salad all summer long. Lots of chopping ingredients but I've found it cathartic and at the end of it I have a great meal or side that's perfect for a hot and humid day.

I LOVE Greek Salad! I appreciate the recipe for getting the perfect combo of ingredients for the dressing. Also, I never heard of “shocking the onion”. I love onion but not when the flavor takes over all of the other flavors. Thank you!
